Abstract:We consider constructing a classifier c : {0, 1}n ↦ {0,1} from a training set of n-dimensional binary vectors. A classifier is usually represented by a representation model such as decision tree (DT) and iteratively composed feature (ICF). In this paper, we discuss the following issues through computational experiments: 1) relation between the representation complexity γ, the error on the training set e and the expected error E of an ICF classifier and 2) comparison between ICF and DT. For 1), we observe that a simpler ICF is more likely to attain a small E, among the ICFs having the same e. For 2), we see that DTs generated by C4.5 and ICFs generated by our algorithm are competitive in terms of E.
